About Melissa

I am patient,kind, and respectful with a good sense of humor when needed. I started out caregiving for a family member with dementia. I was told I might want to do caregiving professionally. I went through the course to become a home care aide.I seem to have a calming affect on my clients and I am an excellent cook and my clients usually enjoy my cooking. I took care of a couple in their 80s for a year and they said I was like part of their family. I took care of them till the end of their life and they ended up bedridden needing personal care.I have had various clients with various conditions three years and I provide good companionship and much respect to all.

I am compassionate, patient, hardworking, caring and loving experienced caregiver. When I am working with my patient I'll make sure that I can give them the best care that they need and make them happy while working with them. I'm proud to be a CNA because caring and helping other people makes me feel happy and fulfilled especially when I see smile on patients faces under my care.

I am a Navy Veteran. I received the Purple Heart for my efforts in Afghanistan. I've also received multiple Navy medals and achievements while serving in Iraq, Kuwait and here in the states. I have learned to be patient, compassionate, thorough, very dependable, trustworthy, honest and attentive. I am a wife and a mother of two beautiful daughters. Zoey is twelve and Makenna is ten. My husband is still in the Navy. He is a Submarine IDC (Independent Duty Corpsman) and he makes me proud everyday. I love my family and me working as a caregiver makes them proud as much as it makes me proud. I love being able to say I help people for a living.
